 Access is open to all members of the public who have printmaking experience (with regular evening classes to ensure that those wishing to acquire or refresh their skills have the opportunity to do so). Membership is taken out annually and allows members access to the workshop facilities. Members will also receive invitation to exhibition previews, artist’s talks and information on all professional and social activities. A system of session fees, paid daily, quarterly or yearly contributes to the cost of consumables provided by the workshop such as inks, solvents and related print chemistry, rags and cleaning materials.

Fees are not only low but are flexible, depending on how long visiting artists wish to use our facilities. For example, those who visit for only a few days or weeks do not need to become a workshop member and can instead opt to pay ‘out of town users’ daily session fees; whilst those who visit for longer periods can pay membership fees and the cheaper block session fees which cover use of the workshop quarterly, six monthly or yearly. |
